The point is that they had all their beliefs overturned or explained away, had to accept evolution and cosmology etc. and all they had left for god was the one thing nobody really knew about*. God of the gaps, and what a small gap for the old chap to be left with. Which is weird because it means that the catholic church are a bunch of deists, in flat contradiction of the bible. Funny old thing life. *All that has changed recently. Quantum tunneling is the current favoured explanation for the existence of the universe.

It was everyone making the claim and the idiot stood there and lapped it up instead of telling them to cool it in case anyone outside of the TMO ever saw it. It all fits in with the delusion of the vedic wisdom being confirmed by science you see, the punters look at JH and think there is some sort of physical confirmation of MMYs ideas and the cheques keep rolling in. It's all good clean fun as long as it stays within the walls of the TMO. Or do they actually believe it? Nah, surely not.
